I really like the non-anon feel of Steem. I made more friends on Steem in my first week than my entire 2 years on Reddit... even when I was commenting on the daily cryptocurrency subreddit with pretty much the same people.
I like that everything is transparent on the blockchain and that everyone's wallets are open. I've worked for government before and it is super refreshing when everyone knows everyone's salaries. Most corporations have it stated in their policies that you aren't allowed to talk salary which means people often get paid less than their subordinates (for a variety of reasons) which breeds resentment.
I've absolutely self-censored myself on this platform, but I don't think that's such a bad thing... being nice, being supportive, being kind and being thoughtful all have a monetary insentive, which allows you to pay that forward... YT, Twitter and Reddit have devolved to the meanest comment getting the most attention... who benefits from that truly?
What I really like about Steem is that it makes people more productive... creating things is truly good for the soul, and now you can get paid, get attention, get tips to improve and now make real, true friends along the way.
Won't lie, totes jelly you and @polebird were in the same place and I was not. ... who is building Live Steeming?
A lot of the social media platforms and just internet in general is full of trolls and mean people. That's definitely rare on here. I say rare because I had a troll incident about a month ago haha
This. I mention this in the post as well. People are constantly pushed to work hard, put in good effort, and show morality on here. I love it. I can attest that I've been more aware of what I write and post on here. You get to learn about the real versions of people which is pretty amazing.
Haha, will have to hit you up if I'm in your city some day! :D
Oh, I meant to mention you can get an anonymous account created, it costs 5 Steem.
Ahh ok. So the fact that it costs money may make people stay away from making tons of spam accounts..
